My DH, his elder sister and both his brothers all got 2 given names, but my sister-in-law Jean didn't. No idea why. I like the name very much, and Jean Elspeth or Jean Matilda or Jean Rosamond would be lovely. I was at school with a Jean Elizabeth, which is also good (and was my MIL's middle name. No clue why they didn't use it.)
Can't help smiling at Jean Tacita! My SIL talks non-stop, probably also in her sleep.

Oh, yes! Jean is one of my favorite names for a girl. It is so sweet and simple and makes me hear bagpipes. :-) And the nn Jeanie is so cute. I considered using Jean for a girl years ago.
It's refreshing to see Jean as a fn. As a mn it's tired and almost depressing to me.
Of your combos, my favorites are:
Jean Cecily
Jean Clarimonde (I don't know why, but this one really works for me, against the odds)
Jean Elinor / Eleanor
Jean Elspeth
Jean Imelda
Jean Isobel
Jean Lilias
Jean Rosalind
Jean Susanna / Susannah
Jean Winifred
You can't see it just now, but I'm clapping with my feet. :-)

I really like it. It's short, sweet and simple. And a lot more interesting than plain Jane.

It's alright, but a boys name in France and one that seems quite dated at that even though you could say it's a classic. It's like the typical French guy's name. I'm half French and it always makes me think of a guy holding a baguette, maybe because there was a guy named Jean pictured like that in one of my French books. So I never liked it that much on either gender.
I love Jeanne, though, with the French pronunciation.
Oh and I love Joan and Jane is quite sweet.

I like it, though it is a touch too dull for my list. I love Jeannie more. I'd be more likely to opt for Jane, but I have had back luck with people named Jane in my life, so that is also out.
